Such celestial phenomena as eclipses of the Moon and the Sun have always been a subject of inexhaustible attention for humanity. In ancient times, they were credited with being a harbinger of wars, cataclysms and all kinds of disasters. Not knowing the true nature of eclipses, ancestors considered them not only mystical, but also fatal events.

In our civilized times, the level of knowledge allows us to understand cosmic processes much better and modern people treat eclipses more calmly. And representatives of esoteric sciences even advise using the opportunity presented during eclipses to influence fate.

And yet it is a mistake to believe that the ideas of our ancestors about the fatal power of eclipses are an exceptional fiction. Astrology has been studying the influence of eclipses on the fate of individuals and entire countries for centuries. Numerous observations of astrologers of all times indicate that cardinal events in a person’s life still occur near the dates of eclipses. However, they concern only those people whose horoscopes fall under their strongest influence.

This most often happens when important points of the horoscope are in the degree of the eclipse. In such cases, eclipses become a catalyst for the most important events in life, which, depending on the overall picture of the horoscope, are favorable or unfavorable.
Each of us has our own natal (given from birth) horoscope, from which we can learn a lot about a person’s character and his destiny, guided by the date, time and place of birth.

What are lunar and solar eclipses?

There are two types of eclipses: solar and lunar.

occurs only during the conjunction of the day and night luminaries - at the moment of the new moon. At the same time, the lunar disk seems to “layer” on the Sun, covering it with itself. (photo on the left) Moon eclipse

The principal factor that distinguishes monthly new and full moons from eclipses is their proximity to the lunar nodes, which are considered karmic points. When both luminaries approach conjunction with the nodes of the Moon, then the usual new moons and full moons turn into eclipses. Thus, full moons and new moons become eclipses only twice a year.
We can say that with this phenomenon a certain “creeping” of the shadow of one planet onto another occurs. IN solar eclipse The Moon projects its disk onto the Sun, blocking the sunlight, and during a lunar eclipse, the three planets Earth, the Sun and the Moon line up in one row, and the Earth is located between both luminaries, plunging the Moon into its shadow.

Lunar eclipses are divided into:

1. Full, in which the Moon hides in the shadow of the Earth;
2. Partial, when only some part of the luminous lunar disk is hidden by the earth's shadow;
3. Penumbra, when the Moon only touches the Earth's shadow.

You can see lunar eclipses at those points on the planet where the lunar body is located above the horizon. The time period for this phenomenon can vary: from half an hour to several hours. If the Earth's satellite revolved around it along the ecliptic, then the phenomena of eclipses would occur on every full moon. But this does not happen because the Moon's orbit has a 5-degree inclination to the plane of the Earth's ecliptic.
In astrology, eclipses are associated not only with fatal events, but also with the opportunity to move to a completely new stage of life. Esoteric practices associated with eclipses allow their power to bring about dramatic changes. Thanks to them, you can influence your personal life, business area, place of residence and other circumstances. In a positive version, the time of an eclipse can become either a starting point for a new life, or getting rid of something unnecessary and oppressive.

Astrological nature of solar and lunar eclipses

Eclipse of the Sun. The Sun in astrology is a symbol of human consciousness, while the Moon is associated with subconscious processes. At the moment of a solar eclipse, when the lunar disk covers the Sun, subconscious processes intensify, allowing each person to realize their true desires and their motives, their fears and phobias, hear the voice of intuition and take advantage of its prompts. At this time, you can radically change your worldview, get rid of negative habits and thoughts, take the path of spirituality, and change your character.

Eclipse of the Moon. During the period of a lunar eclipse, when the Moon becomes invisible and hidden by the Earth from the sun's rays, we have less control over our emotional reactions and poorly understand their causes and nature. At such hours, by making a choice in favor of consciousness, a person can influence his surrounding world. You can refuse something in life and, on the contrary, attract what you want. The world of esotericism recommends, however, not to get carried away by celestial processes and resort to their help only at critical moments. It is important to remember that first of all, you should influence yourself, and only then try to change your environment.

Energy of solar and lunar eclipses

During eclipses, both solar and lunar, unique cosmic energy is released. She has magical powers, but chaotic ones. However, when a specific person approaches it with a clearly expressed request, the structure of energy is transformed to suit the desire itself. In other words, a “dream program” is being created. At the end of the celestial event, this algorithm begins to work. The result may not come immediately, but don’t despair, it will definitely come.
A solar eclipse carries the predominant energy of the Sun. What does it give? The sun is the source of life in all its manifestations. This means that at this time it is advisable to start a new stage in life, plan, create large-scale projects, find a life partner, plan a new addition to the family, and the like.

During lunar eclipses, processes take place that help complete something. For example, a loan taken out a long time ago is worth paying off, you are tired of your old job - you need to pay it off and start looking for a more suitable option. Perhaps the time has come to end non-binding relationships, get rid of illnesses or gravitating problems, both material and spiritual. As we know, without completion there will never be a beginning. It must be said that a lunar eclipse, which represents the opposition of two luminaries, often raises issues of relationships head on. There may be scandals or, conversely, you can make peace with an old friend.

How to use the energy of eclipses

After a lunar eclipse, a person feels as if at the beginning of something new, as if he were a blank white slate. It is at such a moment that you can begin to create a new, desired reality. Not a drop of negativity, only gratitude and positivity. Yes, you should always be grateful for everything good that happens in life. Believe that the gratitude program created by man does not disappear anywhere, it is transformed into good deeds and deeds. This is where the “boomerang law” comes into play. Yes, the “law of infinity” also operates in the Universe; this manifests itself in our spiritual life, and as we know, it is immortal. The more heat we give from our inner fire, the more the Universe will thank us.

What could it be? It’s very simple, don’t be afraid to say words of gratitude even for a small service or deed. Help the old lady cross the road by bringing her bags. Donate at least a small amount of money for the treatment of a seriously ill child. Just smile at a passerby, every good deed is always positive energy. Gratitude can come in any form, it can be winning the lottery, a good job, success in business, and so on.

It is not for nothing that our ancestors attributed special changes to upcoming eclipses. They could be wars, epidemics, devastation. Or vice versa, eclipses foreshadowed a bountiful harvest, prosperity and wealth. If you look at ancient manuscripts, you can see that it was the days of eclipses that were chosen to perform rituals. The choice depended on the strength of desire, on situations and circumstances.

How do eclipses affect humans?

Eclipses have a very strong effect on humanity. Based on what the person himself is like, what his inner world is like, he will perceive cosmic energy individually and act accordingly. It is important to understand, however, that if the influence of the eclipse caused a correction in fate, then the consequences promise to last for the next 18 years. It’s not difficult to understand how important it is at such a moment not to complicate your life with rash actions.

The nature of the events caused by an eclipse will depend on in which astrological house and sign it occurs, in what aspects with the planets. For example, a tense eclipse in Aquarius can cause natural phenomena such as a hurricane or tornado. In a harmonious way, we can witness the launch of the newest satellite, new discoveries and inventions.

Eclipses in Pisces will bring spiritual harmony, humanity, hope for peace, higher energy. It is advisable for a person to observe what is happening with a sober mind, with pure thoughts, to be calm and observe everything with eyes wide open. In a negative manifestation, you can become a victim of addictions such as alcohol or drugs, become a victim of deception, or become involved in theft and fraud.

If the eclipse occurs in Aries/Libra, then the changes may be of a legal nature. Everything that will relate to concluding deals, signing important agreements, and establishing international relations will come to the fore and bring long-awaited results.

What if a person was born on the day of an eclipse?

What qualities will a person born during an eclipse be endowed with? It is reasonable to believe that the “program” of the phenomenon itself makes its mark on the person. Also, if other people during periods of eclipses can make corrections to fate (events), then such a person does not exist. He carries out his own special mission, is endowed with gifts, intuition, and sees what many simply do not notice.

People born during a solar eclipse have the task of giving rise to new projects in all areas of human activity. Those years in which the eclipse falls will become key in the lives of such people.

How to behave during eclipses

The days of an eclipse are vibrational days in their structure. An ignorant person who mishandles their energy can attract not only something good, but also a lot of negativity. It is advisable on such days not to start something grandiose, not to plan important and responsible affairs, to refuse to move, not to take long trips, and the like.

We can say that celestial processes help change your point of view, set priorities, grab luck by the tail, and so on. It can be described in one word - it is providing an opportunity.
A week before the eclipse and another week after, there may be vibrational fluctuations and associated aggravation of relationships, scandals may brew, and rash actions may be taken. It is best at such moments to turn to the world of spirituality, engage in meditation, lead a measured lifestyle, and eliminate physical activity and overeating.

When thinking about changing life events, we need to analyze whether it is so fatal? After all, each of us has our own path on this Earth, it must be walked with dignity. Everything in the world is subject to a general harmonious balance; the slightest failure in this program can lead to unpredictable consequences. Is it worth interfering with the plans of fate? After all, everything always has its price; sooner or later you will have to pay for changes.

If, after all, a person has prepared himself for radical changes, then he needs to think carefully about each point of the conditions. Visualization works well, that is, to imagine exactly what you want as much as possible. You can write everything in words or draw it, the meaning will be the same.

If a person is subject to doubts, then you can turn to a knowledgeable astrologer. He will be able to accurately draw up a personal horoscope and tell you whether anything needs to be changed during the period of eclipses or not. Often, just drawing up a horoscope is enough to understand that events in the future will turn out just fine. By correctly interpreting the aspects of eclipses in the horoscope, you can foresee upcoming events or get an answer to a question of interest. But it is important to remember the main rule: “we create our own destiny and have the right to change it.” Perhaps this is what moments of eclipses exist for?

What day is best for visualization and meditation?

Meaning of Lunar Eclipsedifficult to overestimate.

There are 2 eclipse seasons every year.

This phenomenon is reported in the media, and millions of people are eager to see the eclipse with their own eyes.

This keen interest in the topic contrasts sharply with the lack of attention to eclipses in professional astrology.

Few people talk about how you canuse the power of eclipsesin realizing our desires.

Question " ” has been troubling humanity since time immemorial.

This results in a paradoxical situation:

• If fate can be reliably predicted, then it cannot be changed;
• If fate can be changed, then it is fundamentally impossible to predict.

How to get out of this impasse?

Most astrologers agree that events can be changed within the corridor of fate.

This means a fairly high predetermination of events in our lives. However, we can change some details.

Let me explain with an example.

The energy of Neptune in the lower octave of its manifestation gives rise to various kinds of pathological dependencies. Including alcohol, gaming, drugs.

At the same time, Neptune is a musical, artistic talent, the gift of clairvoyance.

In its highest manifestation, the planet means service to Humanity, the highest humanistic ideals.

This is the spread. We have a choice at what level to manifest the energies that the Cosmos sends us.

Meaning of Lunar Eclipseeasy to understand if we know the nature of the phenomenon:

• Full moon;
• The luminaries are located near the Lunar nodes;

How to enhance the visualization effect?

During a Lunar Eclipse, we gain direct access to our subconscious.

It is it that knows the answers to all questions and contains an inexhaustible supply of energy to achieve any goals.

After all, if we have any desire, it is only because our subconscious knows how to fulfill it.

This means that the only thing we need to do is to gain access to the hidden storerooms, our subconscious.

What questions should be addressed at this time:

• Relationships (personal business);
• Issues of housing, moving, repairs;
• Ancestral karmic programs;
• Health;
• The implementation of something started or planned long ago.

The meaning of a Lunar Eclipse is precisely to reveal the source of power hidden within us.

In astrology, the moon symbolizes the soul, emotions, the ability to overcome obstacles (strength of spirit) and the unconscious sense of the world. In ancient times, it was believed that the powerful energy emitted by the moon could influence a person’s subconscious, causing negative emotions in him and even control his consciousness. It was during this period that it was important to conduct rituals and worship higher powers. Many traditions and beliefs have sunk into oblivion, while others have passed through time. Therefore, it is very important to know the date of the lunar eclipse and what not to do on this day.

A lunar eclipse is an eclipse that occurs when the moon enters the cone of the shadow cast by the Earth. Even in ancient times, scientists noticed that when shadows fall on the moon, unforeseen events (wars, cataclysms and disasters) should be expected. Not knowing the true nature of these phenomena, they associated them with the wrath of higher powers. Today, a lot has changed, but still some traditions and rituals remain to this day. Despite the fact that a lunar eclipse is a natural process, astrologers continue to study its impact not only on humans, but also on entire countries. Each eclipse occurs at its own time and has its own meaning. This means that knowing in advance the date of the next eclipse, you can learn how to properly use cosmic energy.

Soon, residents of the entire Earth, namely on July 27, 2018, will witness an extraordinary event - the longest and most powerful lunar eclipse of the 21st century. The duration of the eclipse will be 103 minutes, and its total duration is approximately 4 hours.

This phenomenon is also called a blood moon due to the reddish color, which is caused by the reflection of light from the Earth's atmosphere. Astrologers believe that an eclipse will focus a person’s attention on his emotional world, sexual relationships, and family.

In addition, the interaction of systems (the opposition of the moon and Mars) will have a powerful impact on the human subconscious, allowing you to feel like a strong, sexy and courageous person. However, these emotions will be quite difficult to control, which can lead to irritation, impatience, and anger towards others. Therefore, on the day of the lunar eclipse, you should relax and direct the hurricane of emotions in the right direction (cleaning the house, active recreation).

To summarize, we can say with certainty that the lunar eclipse on July 27 will be of great importance for humans. Some won’t even notice how it passes, while others will have to hold back their emotions for the entire 4 hours, ready to burst out at any moment.

Where will the eclipse be visible?

On July 27, residents of Central Asia, Eastern Europe and almost all regions of Russia (except Chukotka and Kamchatka) will be able to see the lunar eclipse. In Moscow and St. Petersburg the eclipse can be seen almost in full size. In addition, the best visibility conditions on the territory of the Russian Federation will be in: southern Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea, and the Caucasus. In North America, the eclipse will not be visible (it is daylight for them).

What not to do during a lunar eclipse

On the night of July 27, astrologers urge people to stop observing the lunar eclipse. It is also advisable to avoid drinking alcohol during these hours.

“Spend this day with your family in a calm environment, without scandals. Do something useful for yourself, conduct introspection, plan part of your future life, return to abandoned activities,” experts advise

Lunar eclipse and ancient signs

There are many signs associated with a lunar eclipse. People considered the natural phenomenon a sign of a new beginning. During the eclipse, getting rid of bad habits was considered a good omen (it was easier to do this on this day). But the bad omens on this day were: conceiving a child (will inherit all the bad qualities of the parents), marriage or divorce (regret the decision made for life), giving or borrowing (will bring a series of failures to the house).

What rituals can be performed on the night of July 27

People believe that during a lunar eclipse, wishes come true, and rituals have powerful powers. During this period, a person can free himself from diseases, bad habits, the evil eye and damage, and cleanse his karma.

· cleansing (using water – contrast shower half an hour before the eclipse);

· making wishes (meditation - before and after the eclipse. During which, you should think about your life and wish for what is most needed now);

· a conspiracy to attract your betrothed (before going to bed, put a photo and a personal item of your loved one under the pillow and think about your relationship with him).

And the last thing that can be said is that you should not be afraid of a lunar eclipse - after all, this is another mystery of the universe, a new beginning of life’s journey .

Only people look at the stars, admire sunsets and sunrises and try to understand their place in the big picture. Eclipses, relatively rare phenomena, have always carried with them special meaning. At all times, different civilizations have created myths and astrological calendars based on total eclipses. And today people gather in those places where it is most convenient to observe the total eclipse. Here's what Dr. Athena Perrakis, an expert in this field of astrology, has to say about the August 21st eclipse. Having studied metaphysics for more than 30 years, Perrakis spent most of her time trying to assess the meaning of solar eclipses. It is important to know not only the best places to view eclipses, but also that eclipses are very special phenomena that have been observed by our ancestors for thousands of years. “From an astronomical point of view, the thing about a solar eclipse is that the Sun, Moon and Earth need to line up in a perfect row. And only in this case will the eclipse occur,” she says. – You can turn to history and mythology and find a variety of legends with the help of which our ancestors tried to explain the causes of eclipses. They believed that eclipses are signs for us, symbols of the end of one cycle and the beginning of another." So, given centuries of thought, can we today say what eclipses mean for our horoscope?

Important time

According to Perrakis, eclipses are not just limited to the visual effect; they also have an impact on an individual level. “Eclipse cycles have an 18-month cycle,” she explains. “So people who are trying to understand them on a personal level should pay attention to the last solar eclipse that occurred in March 2016.” Today's eclipse marks the end of this cycle. It’s worth asking: “What did I learn from March 2016 to August 2017? What topics were the main ones for me? What changes have happened to me? You need to take the moment of this eclipse as an opportunity to change how you respond to these challenges and experiences, lessons and themes.” An eclipse is the best time - speaking from an astrological point of view - to rethink your life and yourself. This should be a time of reflection and learning, a time where understanding your past can give you a better understanding of the future.

Personal changes

Three important things happen during an eclipse. The first is that a change occurs, be it external or internal, and in connection with it a personal transformation occurs. Therefore, whatever change the eclipse brings with it, it will also change you. “Also, an important aspect of an eclipse is discovery,” Perrakis says. – You discover something important for yourself. It could be something about you or something about other people in your life, but usually it's something new about your shadow side (because eclipses are the shadow of planets overlapping each other). Your shadow side and understanding of your hidden side will become more accessible to you.” If you haven't done any personality or psychological assessment lately, then an eclipse is a good time to do so. Who knows, maybe an event will happen that will completely change your life!

Attention, Leos!

This solar eclipse will have a special impact on Leo, as both the Moon and the Sun will be in this constellation during the eclipse. If you are a Leo, then, unfortunately, not the best period awaits you. To be honest, your horoscope is not spoiling you. “Lviv faces the following problems: Leo is a permanent sign. Fixed signs don't like change. They stabilize families and companies. They are the ones who maintain stability, so when a fixed sign needs to confront change—especially internal, personal change—it can be very difficult for them,” says Perrakis. But don't worry too much. Although Leos may have a hard time during this period of change, they will most likely be able to change for the better. As they say, experience is the best teacher. Other fixed signs - Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius - will also be affected by the eclipse, but not to the same extent as Leo.

Fickle signs

If you weren't born under the sign of Leo, this solar eclipse will still have meaning for you. “Representatives of all astrological signs, all 12, are to some degree fixed, fickle, and cardinal,” says Perrakis. Although Leo is a fixed sign that doesn't really like the impact of the eclipse, fickle signs are likely to face this period without any problems. “I call fickle signs ‘finalists,’” she says. – All the fickle signs – Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces – complete the seasons. They are found in late summer and late winter. They feel great during the completion of cycles. Therefore, during the period of eclipses it is much easier for them: they are accustomed to the beginning and end. They understand the value of completion.” Fickle signs during this eclipse will likely be reminiscing about the past few years and finding some meaning in the end of this particular cycle.

Cardinal signs

Cardinal signs are in some ways similar to fickle signs when it comes to an eclipse. While fickle signs like Virgo and Gemini appreciate the end of a cycle, cardinal signs look forward to the beginning of a new cycle. “The cardinal signs – Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn – are beginners. So they like to create a cycle, start it, start something new. They will handle the eclipse remarkably well,” says Perrakis. These people are energized by the thought of new beginnings and love to go on new adventures. All these signs are likely to have a good and pleasant horoscope.

Eclipse energy

You already know how the solar eclipse will affect each sign. Now let's look at the overall energy that the eclipse will bring to the world. “We understand that the energy of the eclipse is unstable,” Perrakis says. “Something in us tells us that this is not the natural course of events.” Therefore, whenever you experience unstable energy, it seems distorted, unclear, indirect. Sometimes there is a feeling of unpredictability, as if you are caught in quicksand.” Even though some signs will cope well with the passage of the eclipse, the winds of change will still be too strong and can seriously buffet you. Regardless of your affiliation with a particular sign, it is important to have a stable center. I think the most important thing during an eclipse is to find your support. Make sure you understand the themes and meanings of the past cycle so you won’t be caught off guard by what you don’t know.”

The end and the beginning

History, mythology and astrology are closely related to the solar eclipse. Each of them acquired its own significance in this natural phenomenon. Perrakis says nothing compares to an eclipse in terms of both astronomy and personal issues. “An eclipse is both an end and a beginning, two in one,” she emphasizes. – For me, this is where the deepest meaning lies. At this moment, one cycle ends and the next begins. There is something extraordinarily profound about the way these cycles intertwine in one moment.”
